I bought a Glock 45 specifically for this. I tried on a gen 4 glock 17 and the grip was too beefy with the way the brace shifted where my fingers lined up with the finger grooves. The gen5 grip is much better. A glock 19 grip would be WAY to squished. But I had a harder time finding affordable Glock 17 Gen 5 threaded barrels, whereas the Gen 4 glock 19 threaded barrels are also compatible with gen 5 glock 19/19x/45. Plus I like the shorter top end when running suppressed. And the Glock 45 has forward serrations which seems helpful to me with a red dot on the top and the brace in the way. I also didn't want a milled slide or MOS, because the red dot sat too low on my milled 19x when I tried it. I ended up getting a RMR mounting plate that replaced the rear sight so that it puts it up a little higher. It's actually still much lower than I'd like but it's better than milled into the slide. Overall, the Glock 45 was the perfect host for this set up for me. I'm still waiting for the flashmag to ship. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/435611/69928552_428645461331485_6875933265811734528_n_jpg-1080664.JPG Quote HistoryQuoted:

So all you guys that have one.....if you were to buy a glock specifically for this...which one would you go with? Gen 4 or gen 5? MOS set up slide or mount after the fact? 17 or longer? I have a G17 gen4/5 brace coming. Keep in mind that I plan to get the flash mag as well. I need to go buy a new pistola, so leaning gen 5 17 MOS...... Your input is appreciated. I have had all gens of at lease one of the models, just don't have any gen 4 or 5 now.

I ran about 200 rounds through my Fluxed up Glock today...soo much fun.
After getting the correct screws in my holosun and checking that it stayed secure, it shot so well. I got it sighted in for 25 yards. I ran all reloads through it....124 grain FMJs, 115 FMJs, 124 grain cast powder coated..all ran great, as expected. Really liking the 27rd PMags. I load them to 25. Seem to be the perfect length. Have 5 now. Brought my P80 that I added a Holosun on today. The normal pistol with the reddot is going to take me alot of practice to shoot well..yikes! This fluxed glock will now go on most range trips. Love it! Added: The height of my Holosun on the MOS plate seems perfect to me. |

This what I mean about using this as a good travel gun. 41 rounds of 9mm, red dot, 1000 lumen light, headshots at 50 yards all day, about 3 pounds with everything. This is a rush 12 the smaller front pocket. Still able to use the whole back for actual stuff.

I swear to Christ, Flux Defense has until October 4th to ship my Flashmag or I'm cancelling my order. Their 1-2 week wait is now at 7 weeks. I'll give them two months and then I'm done.
Well, it looks like my Flashmag may get here before the 4th, after all. Twenty-seven minutes after I made this post, I got an email from them stating that my order was shipping. Of course, the email actually just says a shipping label was created. We'll see. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: WTF, Unless the Flashmag Rail is backordered, my order got bypassed. Last week they told me delays were due to steel parts getting to them. As far as I can tell, the Flashmags are all polymer, except hardware. Their time until shipment are all over the place. One guy waited 3 months, while another guy gets his order in less than a month. I'll definitely be sending them another e-mail. Still hasn't been picked up.
I'm not upset though. I knew what I signed up for, and their website said 3-6 week wait when I ordered, so no problem on my part. I understand your pain however. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: At least you're one step closer to getting your product than I. I placed an order for a standard 17/34 G4/5 Flux brace and Flashmag Rail on 8/4. Currently on week 7. Their lead time estimates are certainly way to optimistic on their part. But it seems like you got shipment info within 4 weeks of your order. So I'd be curious to how they organize their orders. Their first come first serve doesn't seem to apply to them. I was okay waiting once I heard they were waiting on parts, but again, it seemed like they forgot about my order somewhere which is why I am upset. |

So I received my "shipping label created" e-mail after I sent them an e-mail last night about their first come, first serve issue I had with them.
I am starting to think maybe the shipping label created is just a ploy to keep customers patient. Sort of like, here is a bread crumb, keep hanging in there etc. I'd be curious to when products will actually ship. Most places have things shipped the net business day. But I don't have high hopes... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: just pretend it's like NFA stuff. Order, try and forget about it, be excited when you get it! 3 months for a brace seems way better than the 11 months I just did for a piece of tube with curvy washers in it. With that said, looks like Flux followed through and my package was shipped the following day the label was created. |
